Oil prices rise , and stocks fall worldwide after Trump says ceasefire with Iran is over
What it means
Trump declaring the ceasefire with Iran over is a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict — it directly threatens Iranian oil flows and Strait of Hormuz transit, channels historically associated with sharp crude price spikes. Broad equities have historically sold off when the US becomes a direct party to Middle East tensions, and gold tends to extend its safe-haven bid. This is a new and distinct shock, not merely a continuation of prior signals.
